Subject: Official Information request - Data on SACRA assessments

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

In your response of 19 June 2018 to my request for the review of the SACRA
tool you also provided information on the timely completion of SACRA
assessments. I am interested in better understanding this information. For
each prison for the last financial year please provide me with:

 

* the total throughput of prisoners

* the total number of prisoners held in shared cells (throughput view)

* the total number of SACRA assessments undertaken

* the total number of SACRA assessments completed on time

* the total number of times the SACRA assessment indicated the prisoner
should not be held in a shared cell

* the total number of times the SACRA assessment indicated the prisoner
could be held in a shared cell

 

My aim is to determine what number and percentage of prisoners at each
prison are held in a shared cell without having a SACRA completed on time.
I am happy to discuss changes to the request to accurately capture this
information.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

BAW Russell
